Went for a shorty with my shorty Saturday night. Mrs. FA and I ran the resevoir from our apartment. I was only our sixth, or thereabouts, run together during this whole endeavor, and it set us up for a great post-run dinner at a favorite restaurant near Columbus Circle.
I had not run since the CCM, to see if a week of rest would calm the piriformis (there's that word again...). Not sure yet if it the week off did the job. I had some mild post-run soreness, but no pain. I did 90 minutes in the car yesterday, where it ususally is most uncomfortable. Time will tell, and I will report.
Mrs. FA and I also got to mile 23 of the NYC Marathon yesterday in time for the elite women, and stuck around for the bulk of the field. It was a beautiful day, cold and clear. 39,000 runners! Fantastic.

totally, cool. What a spectacle -- it's a fantastic race!
It was 72 F when I did mine, I was hoping for 40 . . . 40 seems a good marathon temperature.
No more piriformis jokes from me. It's a good word to know. Much better than saying, "it hurts kind of under my ass."
Cool that you saw the NYC Marathon. I'd like to catch it one day.
I was reading some news on the NYC Marathon when I came across this.

Definitely going to pay more attention to the HR zones.
